Celebrating Shakespeare!

James Reid-Cunningham, bookbinder, conservator, and book historian gave a great presentation, Artistic Bookbinding in the Twenty-First Century. He explores the complex balance of art and craft in artistic bookbinding, as illustrated in the exhibition currently on display at The British Art Center, “The Poet of Them All”: William Shakespeare and Miniature Designer Bindings from the Collection of Neale and Margaret Albert

The exhibit, on tour from the Folger Shakespeare Library, will be open to the public at the CU Art Museum August 9-31, 2016. The First Folio is the first complete collected edition of Shakespeare's plays, published in 1623, seven years after his death. Compiled by two of Shakespeare's fellow actors, it preserves 36 of Shakespeare's plays. Without it, we would not have 18 of those plays, including Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night, The Tempest and Antony and Cleopatra.
